2 Timothée 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 4:4

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth
The solid truths of the Gospel, not being able to bear the hearing of them:

and shall be turned unto fables;
things idle, trifling, useless, and, unprofitable; and which are no better than old wives' fables; some respect may be had either to Jewish fables, or to the miraculous mythologies of the Gentiles, or of the Gnostics, and others: but in general, it includes everything that is vain, empty, and senseless; and this is to be considered as a just judgment upon them; that since they like not to retain the knowledge of the truth, but turn away their ears from it, God gives them up to a reprobate mind, a mind void of sense and judgment, to attend to things idle and fabulous.

2 Timothée 4:4 In-Context

2 Prêche la parole, insiste en temps et hors de temps, reprends, censure, exhorte en toute patience, et en instruisant.
3 Car il viendra un temps où les hommes ne souffriront point la saine doctrine, mais où, désireux d'entendre des choses agréables, ils s'amasseront des docteurs selon leurs convoitises,
4 Et fermeront l'oreille à la vérité, et se tourneront vers des fables.
5 Mais toi, sois vigilant en toutes choses, endure les afflictions, fais l'œuvre d'un évangéliste; remplis complètement ton ministère.
6 Car pour moi, je vais être immolé, et le temps de mon départ approche.
